Re: How Well Do You Know The Legend Of Zelda?

@DockEllisD technically not a "Legend of Zelda" game as it isn't in the title, but then by that reckoning neither is "Zelda II: The Adventure of Link".

Edit: my comment makes slightly less sense with the change to the question.

Re: Feature: How One Man Is Turning Dead DS Lites Into Gorgeous Game Boy Advance Systems

I've seen this "Neon Advance" on so many game sites lately but it rather irked me that they all fawned over them as though no one had ever made a game boy macro before lol, I actually really enjoyed this article and I'll admit, I was guilty of calling this a "lazy macro" but after this interview I find it totally fair what he's done. I've actually made a macro before and mine really was lazy, I wanted to do it without any soldering whatsoever! It worked though, and it really is a lovely way to play GBA games

Re: Review: Animal Super Squad (Switch eShop)

quite remarkable how many people have such a poor opinion of pewdiepie based on what journalists looking for a juicy scoop wrote about him. i understand though, i was there with you, thought he was a scumbag, entitled a$$hole… then i actually watched him and realised he's a pretty genuine bloke. any of us could easily mess up like he did, the only difference is none of us will have a media witch hunt after us if we did. he comes across as a pretty down to earth person and it's totally in contrast with what I (and probably a lot of you) read about him in the media. anyway, regarding the game, seems like fairly light fun, may have a look in to it… i also may just wait till it's discounted lol

(also, good review Richard, keep it up!)

Re: Nintendo Reiterates That It's Not Interested In Virtual Reality Or 4K Support

@dumedum that's a fair assessment and you're right, in terms of assets and capital, etc. Sony dwarfs Nintendo. However, the very fact that the company of Nintendo is worth more to investors and the global market than the physically bigger company of Sony is still noteworthy. I believe I read that currently the only division of Sony which is posting profits is the gaming division (it may have been something other than profits). Technically this should mean that Nintendo is in a much stronger position to experiment and in a stronger position to follow trends that may lead to nowhere, such as VR, since Sony needs to be conservative and risk averse in their only profitable division, gaming. Still, at the end of the day, Nintendo do as Nintendo does. I'm not bothered with VR since it seems like a total fad to me, like 3D was, and I don't plan on owning a 4K TV any time soon so…

Re: Nintendo Switch Is Seeing Record Sales In Both France And Italy

@GC-161 this is a UK website, written in English, and with readers from primarily English speaking countries. We get sales lists from US, UK and Japan, and we only get Japan because it's Nintendo's home. Furthermore, how do you know any of those countries list comprehensive sales lists for video games? And you're literally commenting on an article about sales in a European country that isn't the UK… the mind boggles.
